It's exciting that most of the characters were well developed, but it's too bad that the same wasn't done for the antagonists and their motives. This sounds like a creative and immersive book overall though. Thank you for your review!

The book seems to be great due to the si-fi in it, like the future watch.
The review gives a good line for the reader to go for the book.

A good book and nice work from the author. however we must know that no matter the invention and science, nature cannot be defeated all through. maybe partially. I love this book.

The idea of knowing your time of death sounds fascinating. I wonder what other scientific inventions would be in this book. Thanks for the detailed review!

The idea of such a dystopian world is interesting. I enjoy the themes of political satire and science fiction and I'm curious to see what this book will be like. Thanks for the review!

This book will probably appeal to those that enjoy SCI-FI and political thrillers. The idea of someone making a watch that can predict the time of death might in some ways be intriguing, but unintended consequences are more than likely. The number of supporting characters, and lack of backstory for the antagonists, is not appealing for me.

I am looking forward to this last installment as the first two were amazing! I love the premise of the watch telling its user when their time is up. The characters sound well-developed, and readers can expect a fast-paced plot with plenty of twists and turns. Thanks for the informative review.

The first and second parts of The FINAL Trilogy were very good and entertaining enough to read. I quite enjoyed both and am only happy to finish this excellent journey with the last book. I am very grateful that you are generous to gift it for free and will gladly start reading. Sincere congrats with well deserved BOTD!

This is an interesting contemporary science fiction novel highlighting a future apocalyptic event, suspense, slight romance, action, and a fast-paced political satire. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has a well-written OnlineBookClub review.Congrats on the BOTD.

I've read and enjoyed others of Van Fleisher's books, but climate change terrifies me because it's a reality, so I'm not sure if I want to use my spare time triggering an anxiety attack over impending doom. Unlike you, I don't enjoy the detailed descriptions of technology, so I'll guess I'll skip the ending of this saga.
Thank you for your comprehensive review.

Van's extensive and sophisticated use of technology astounds me. The book also provides a sneak peek into the world of the future until 2066. I admire the author's vivid imagination and creativity. Thank you for your review.

This book is very interesting and exciting but scary too as it could depict the future of Earth. I have enjoyed the first book and am sure I will enjoy this too. Thanks for your review.

I do believe that this is interesting, but also a part of me thinks this is a little bit cliche. I have seen a lot of plots with something about predicting death with a lot of drama and I could tell that it isn't my fondest of genres. Thank you for the excellent review, however.

This sci-fi novel looks unique in that it seems to have a lot of political overlay. I hope to catch up on the other two in the series before delving into this one. Congratulations on book of the day!

Oh dear, the book seems to have an interesting premise, but the fact that there are too many supporting characters – which means a lack of focus (hence the lack of conflict and tension) – is such a pity. Thanks for the review.
